The game was neck and neck until the 27th end when Nathan held a 6 shot lead. Joanne fought back with 3 1 shot ends and a 3 to only go down 25/20.
On rink 4 Greg Townsend played a very determined Mick Simpson in a cracker of a game that could have been anybody’s. In another very low scoring game Greg began to gain a lead on the 7th end holding a 4 shot lead before Mick found his mojo and reduced the lead to overtake Greg on the 26th end when he scored a 4. On the end of the game that mattered, Greg played some great shots to hold Mick off and gain the lead again on the last end with a 2 to win a very tight tussle 25/24.
